Danny Boyle—after 28 years, this is the movie you thought we wanted? This is the story you thought was worth telling?

Sure, it's technically part of a trilogy—28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and now this—but it’s not a good continuation. It’s not even a good movie. It might go down as one of the worst sequels of all time. And I don’t say that lightly.

🧟‍♂️ Disjointed, directionless, and dumb decisions

It’s not that the characters don’t have a purpose or role—they do, and the film sets them up as such. We’re just never made to care about them. Then they either go off and do something completely out of character, or just plain dumb things. And since we didn’t care about them to begin with, it all falls flat.

🚨 Missing: One Genuine Scare

There were barely any scares. At all. How do you make a horror movie—a 28 Days Later horror movie—boring? Some of the dialogue and scenes toward the end seriously border on parody. And yeah, there were laughs in the cinema—but people were laughing at the film, not with it.

28 Years Later isn't terrifying; it's terrifyingly boring.

🎬 Dead Good & Bloody Awful

✅ Zombie makeup still on-point

❌ Scares mostly MIA
❌ Characters you don't care about
❌ Unintenionally funny (major cringe)

Is 28 Years Later Worth Watching?

Boyle’s zombies deserve better brains—and so do we.
